Final answer:

Corrected statement highlighted regarding venipuncture using the vacuum tube system.


Explanation:

The corrected statement regarding venipuncture and blood collection using the vacuum tube system is: 'Fill the evacuated tubes until the vacuum is exhausted in the tube.' This statement needs correction because evacuated tubes should only be filled to the specified volume, not until the vacuum is exhausted.

Other points to consider during venipuncture include: Avoiding pulling the needle out of the vein rapidly, not pushing the posterior needle through the tube stopper before puncturing the vein, and performing venipuncture in a slow and controlled motion while inverting the tubes rapidly after collection.
